Design of RC Stuctures:: Different Members of RCC Structures

Flat slabs are reinforced concrete slabs supported by columns without beams, with a minimum thickness of 125 mm. They can be solid slabs or have recesses on the soffit. Beams are horizontal members that carry transverse loads and transmit them to vertical columns, resulting in flexural bending that creates compressive and tensile zones. The two types of beams are singly reinforced beams, which only have reinforcement in the tensile zone, and doubly reinforced beams, which have reinforcement in both zones.

DESIGN OF RC STUCTURES:

Different Members of RCC Structures

Another type of slab is flat slab. The term flat slab means a reinforced concrete slab
with or without drops, supported generally without beams, by columns with or
without flared column heads. A flat slab may be solid slab or may have recesses
formed on the soffit comprises a series of ribs in two directions. The recesses may
be formed by removable or permanent filler blocks. The thickness of a flat slab is
controlled by considerations of span to effective depth ratios as per IS 456:2000 cl.
23.2. The minimum thickness of a flat slab should be 125 mm.

Beams: beams are the most important elements of RC structure. It is a horizontal


member carrying transverse loads and transmits the load to vertical supporting
columns. Due to this loads beam will suffer flexural bending. Thus a compressive
zone will appear on the top and a tensile zone will appear on the bottom of a simply
supported beam. Main bars are provided in the longitudinal direction of the beam to
resist bending and on the other hand stirrups are provided in the transverses
direction to resist shear force. Two type of RC beam are there, 1 st one is singly
reinforced beam (reinforced is provide only on tensile zone) and 2 nd one is doubly
